What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

also, if I may
can I ask what bolt on rock slider fasteners ya’ll out there prefer?
my fabricator just installed with his hardware and antiseize

 

My Greenlane sliders attached with grade 10 M8 bolts (13mm head) and matching washers.

 

Same size and grade for RSG, with a split washer and flat washer for each bolt.

 

I wish I don't have Toyota Safety Sense. Kinda embarrassing when the vehicle decides to brake like this imo.

Id pull one bolt at a time and put washer on them. But thats just me.

 

Same, in 30mm length. All stainless, and anti-seize

 

It's a Diggs Revol; kinda bulky/heavy but it folds up, rolls, and has a side opening feature that worked pretty well in that spot. Medium size barely fit on the folded rear seat.

 

I have them on my '23 OR. Great tires so far!

 

Thanks! I appreciate the info. Very cute pups!

 

How’s the road noise and wet traction ?

 

Thanks everyone who answered my question regarding rock slider bolts.
I have rust treatment to do on that whole centre section of the 4R. So before winter I’ll swap to stainless and maybe add lock washers, not sure how much they are needed on an approx. 40ft/lb bolt. Never a bad idea.
I also plan to hit the frame with blaster surface shield or something before reinstalling sliders after rust paint dries for long enough.

The bolts are flange head so they kind of are OK but washers would surely be little larger diameter, and better!

 

I couldn't find any threads when I searched but does anyone have a suggestion for a flashlight holder? I just bought an Olight on prime day and would like to mount it somewhere in the cab.

 

I carry a tactical light but I just keep it in the center console.

 

A few suggestions.

I used to keep mine in the center console as well. However, now that I have the Rago center console molle panels, I keep them there.

 

I keep mine in the tissue holder in the center console lid, next to a smaller pack of tissues.

 

I just keep a 2 D maglite under my seat on the righthand side. Has never moved or made a sound. I did just pick up one of those over the hump caddies. It doesnt hold much but nice to have 1 more place to throw crap. Holds a small fry great too

 

Big upgrade today!!! I love them! Large is perfect!

Well

February I put a new Toyota windshield on the runner. Got a transparent UV blocking tint installed on it that really helps with the summer heat at the same time.

Sunday I got a rock chip, called the shop and they sent a guy out to fix the chip.

Not only did he botch the chip repair, he melted the tint with a heat gun after I warned him that his employer had installed the tint. Going to the shop tomorrow to see what they are going to do about fixing it. New tint at a minimum, maybe a new windshield. At least all of this was on the far passenger side.

 

I'm not saying it's aliens, but..... Anyone else have "crop circles" on their 4Runner? I have no idea where these came from. I would never put anything, much less something shaped like this on my hood. I first noticed one on the roof edge above one of the doors. It was much smaller than these. Then I saw one on my hatch. Now these. No one in my family would put anything on my car (that I know of). The ones on the hood are maybe 3-4 inches in diameter. The one I saw on the roof edge was about 2". You can see smaller one (to the left of my hand) along with the larger one in this first pic.

 

Well... I decided to google just for kicks and found this. Color me amazed.

When you start making your 4R your cellphone wallpaper instead of your family

 

Finally replaced the 4x4 shifter

 

Interesting. Is there a Possibllity of kids bouncing a ball off your vehicle?

 

Trying out Tuxmats, please excuse the dog hair:



Nothing wrong with the rubber Toyota ones it came with; these are just fancier. I like how they clean up the seat rails and seem to completely eclipse the carpet. Caps to keep mud out of the latches would have been nice.

 

WOW. That a whole new definition of full coverage.

 

I like these how they cover the door step area. Where did you buy these??

 

They have a hum to them at highway speeds but nothing terrible, quieter than the nitto trail grapplers I had on my Silverado. They do awesome in the rain/standing water.

 

Couldn't find the 7-seat version anywhere except tuxmat.com but they shipped very quickly. Apparently Canadians can get them from Costco.

 

Who makes those seat covers? Do you like the seat covers? Any issues? Thanks.
